Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi, J

1.

Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent State.

2.

This application has been filed for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in connection with Bhawnathpur PS Case No.120 of 2025,  registered  for  the  offence  under  sections  109,  61(2)  of  BNS, 2023, pending in court of learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Nagar Untari, Garhwa.

3.

The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that allegations are made that to correct the fault in the supply of current, the petitioner has called the injured and he has climbed  on  the  transformer  and  has  come  into  the  contact  of  11000- volt power wire resulting to current shock and he fell down on the ground.  He  further  submits  that  the  age  of  the  petitioner  is  70  years and said injured person was knowing operation of electricity as he was having  own  flour  mill.  He  then  submits  that  the  petitioner  has  got  no criminal antecedent and the said incident has occurred accidentally. He then submits that the petitioner is in custody since 07.10.2025.

4.

The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent State opposed the prayer of regular bail of the petitioner and submits that the petitioner has called upon the injured person and he forced him to climb on the transformer.

5.

Considering that the petitioner is aged about 70 years and it has been stated that for rectifying the electricity supply fault, the  request  was  made  by  the  petitioner  to  the  injured  person  and he has voluntarily tried to rectify the supply of current, however, he has come into the contact of 11000-volt power wire and the petitioner is in custody since 07.10.2025, I am inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner.

6.

Accordingly, petitioner, above named, is hereby directed to be released on bail, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty-Five Thousand), with two sureties of like amount each, to  satisfaction of learned Judicial  Magistrate  First Class, Nagar Untari, Garhwa, in connection with Bhawnathpur PS Case No.120 of 2025.
